The CNAG is a new high-performance genome sequencing centre created in 2010 by Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation and Generalitat de Catalunya which is aimed at consolidating Spain’s status as a leading player in the strategic area of genomics research.
The CNAG's primary mission is to carry out large-scale DNA sequence analysis projects in human and other species in collaboration with researchers in Catalonia, Spain and internationally.
One of the primary goals will be to generate and interpret the genome data that will help understand the way a human or other genome functions so that this information can then be used for the improvement of human health and the sustainable and durable generation of nourishment.
